Mike and Joe
Mike and Joe is a really good modern rock cover band based out of Chicago. It's kind of as simple as that. "Kind of," except for the fact that the band is widely regarded by it's peers as one of the very best sounding cover bands in the entire nation. It's impressive.
But what makes an average listener walk away thinking, "That was really good." "I liked that a lot." " I want to see that again." The answer is the best possible one; and that is quality. This is a living, breathing, organic “band’s band.” No backing tracks or pre-programmed instruments are used. No sounds rolling off a computer somewhere. Just four of the most solid and passionate musicians playing . . . as one . . . with the gift of delivering a concert experience while simultaneously compelling their audience to dance and sing along. Its rock, it's fun, and it's quality. The guitarists utilize their acoustic guitars deftly in a way that most cover acts don't touch. Add 4 part harmony and a smashmouth drummer who hits for real, and you have delightful versatility. And the set list? It's a smile inducing mix of rock-pop songs from the 90s and 2000s...with a few surprises thrown in for good measure.
Mike and Joe mix, match, and perfect hand selected hits and timeless favorites. They bring down the house with today's hottest hits while rocking favorite childhood jams. Mike and Joe are not just your normal cover band, they're a true BAND that plays covers.

"D" from Love & Money "Live"
Scott ‘Dae’ Sherry (aka ‘D’ from Love & Money) is a singer-songwriter that has a true passion for music running through his blood. When he’s not busy playing bass and singing for his full band, he is often found playing his high-energy acoustic show ‘with a kick’ - taking a wide variety of song requests from an ever-growing diverse list of tunes that span genres from Classic Party Rock, to a solid range of New & Old School Country, to Pop Rock back from the 80’s up to the Current-Cutting Edge. ‘D' works hard to make all of his shows highly-interactive with fun fans shouting out tune requests (or by handing in his infamous ‘request sheets’) that make every show different and fun for everybody involved. He bangs away rhythms on his acoustic tightly coupled with a steady stompin' kick drum beat underneath, while overlaying his unique high-energy vocals, finely seasoned with some tasteful harmonica - as he injects his spirit & soul into the music - craftily shaping all your favorite sing-along songs with his own personal spin. Whether you’re dancing the night away with ‘D’ & his band Love & Money, or singing-along with every tune at his high-energy solo acoustic shows - it's always a rockin' good time!
